The new bridge that carries Jordan Road over Interstate 90 in Harborcreek Township in Erie County opened to traffic today, more than two months ahead of schedule.
The Jordan Road Bridge is located on Jordan Road (Route 4108) just south of Penn State Behrend college campus.
Work to demolish the old bridge and construct a new concrete bridge to meet current vertical clearances standards started in March 2025 and was expected to take nine months to complete.
The project also includes paving on each side of the new bridge, drainage improvements, minor landscaping, and new right-of-way fencing,
While work on the bridge is complete, the project is ongoing with shoulder paving the installation high-tension cable barrier, and new signs and guide rail. Drivers should be alert for temporary lane restrictions on the interstate near the bridge and occasional nighttime work.
The project is expected to be completed by December 2025.
The contractor is Francis J Palo Inc. Clarion, PA. The contract cost is $5,157,026, which is to be paid entirely with federal funds.
